April 2019 Work Day Recap

What a great weekend of quilting!  

Around seventeen industrious working people attended over two days of Hope Quilters.  We had a couple of donations to sort through, which are always very much appreciated, and had a large donation of good quality upholstery samples for JOPPA blankets this fall.  All in all, sixteen finished quilts were turned into Missions and they'll be delivered this week.  (See PHOTO page)

And just another reminder that the May Hope Quilters meeting is going to be the third weekend.  We'll meet on the 17th and 18th.  Mark your calendars.

Blessings to you all this Easter week.  He is Risen!

Mark 16:5-6

As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting 

on the right side, and they were alarmed.  "Don't be alarmed," he said.  

"You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified.  He has risen!  He is not here."

March 2019 Work Day Recap

Another great weekend with friends!   Besides a little sewing, there was time for laughter, tears, hugs, therapy and girl scout cookies ☺.   Some stopped by, others stayed a while.  I think there were around twenty-two of us over the two days.  What fun to spend time with quilting friends.  

A special thanks to Mary Helen for taking on coordinating our "ready to be quilted" inventory.  Thanks to Becky and Suzanne for taking several quilts home for quilting.  

We only had three quilts for missions but seven went home with people for binding.  One of our quilts is going to Tijuana next week with the mission group.  It will grace a family in their new house.

Be sure to check your calendars for April and May.  We will meet as normal on the 2nd Saturday in April (12th/13th).  Then we have the Spring Retreat the fourth weekend at Waukee April 25, 26 and 27.  Another reminder that the May meeting will be on the 3rd Saturday (17/18th).  

You can see this month's quilts here: PHOTOS.  Not too many photos this month, but many quilts were taken home to be completed so come back to see them once they get finished!
